Doha has a whole host of exciting things to do on offer that you are bound to be left spoilt for choice. Come, venture out in the exotic Gulf city, and enjoy everything wonderful and fascinating that is in store for you, ready to treat you to an incredible Doha experience.
a stomach-churning roller coaster ride in the undulating desert
No trip to the Middle East would be complete without some dune bashing on the holiday programme and the vibrant city of Doha is by any means no exception. Make your way from the well paved tarmac paths and scores of towering skyscrapers to Doha's golden deserts, where a slew of white-clad Arabs await you, inviting you to hop in their mighty SUVs and go on a stomach-churning roller coaster ride up and down undulating sand dunes.
a slice of mind-blowing extravagance in the exotic city
Super-yacht moored marinas, swanky shopping malls and a myriad of world-class entertainment — The Pearl Qatar is as luxurious as it gets. Set north off the coast of Doha's highly affluent West Bay, the four-square kilometre island is a 100% artificial island, brimming with all the luxury and extravagance one could ever imagine. Treat your inner shopping to a slice of fanciful retail therapy, indulge in one of the many fantastic entertainment options or simply take a wander, losing yourself in the vibrant scene.
an oasis of serenity to unwind amidst the bustling city
As the sun begins to reach the horizon and azure blue skies take a profusion of yellowish oranges, there's no place you would rather be than the serene Doha Corniche. The seven-kilometre waterfront promenade running along the Doha Bay is truly an oasis of serenity amidst the bustling metropolis. Make your way to The Corniche for a relaxing late-afternoon stroll and let yourself immerse in the delightful ambience as you treat your eyes to the stunning cityscape over the calm waters.
a dose of fascinating art and culture
Set on one end of the stunning Doha Corniche, on its own purpose-built island, The Museum of Islamic Art is a must-visit in the city of Doha. The striking museum basks in the glory of housing the largest collection of Islamic art in the whole world, drawn from three whole continents. While art buffs are guaranteed to have the time of their lives, other visitors to the vibrant city are also sure to have an incredible experience, feasting their eyes on the breathtaking art.
finger-licking indulgences and authentic experiences
It would be a pity to travel all the way to Doha, Qatar and not get a taste of its authentic local cuisine. Treat yourself to an assortment of traditional dishes and let your taste buds savour the exotic blend of flavours. Your exploration of the local cuisine could be done from the comfort of some of the best hotels in Doha, including the likes of Al Najada Doha Hotel by Tivoli.
